Implementation of Global Satellite Navigation

System (GLONASS) for In-Vehicle Emergency Call Systems: Status and Further

Development

Presented by the Russian Federation

March 2013, 159-th WP29 meeting

Informal document WP.29-159-22 (159th WP.29, 12-15 March 2013, agenda item 8.7)

GLONASS Applications

ERA-GLONASS

Passenger vehicles

School buses

Vehicles designated for carriage of garbage, special purpose and dangerous goods

Heavy and oversized vehicles requiring special permission for transportation

3

Satellite Navigation Equipment of Commercial Vehicle Fleet

Russian Technical Regulation “On Safety of Wheeled Vehicles.”

ERA-GLONASS Basic Requirements

The amendments to the Customs Union Technical Regulation “On Safety of Wheeled Vehicles” were

adopted in January 2013

4

Requirements:

– М &N category vehicles: generation of an emergency call manually

– + from 01.01.2017 automatic generation of an emergency call in case of vehicle roll-over

– М1 & N1 category vehicles (GVW < 2.5 tons): in addition: automatic generation of an emergency call

– Voice communication with emergency services

2014 2015 2016 2017

from 01.10.2014 – new vehicle types of categories M1, N1 (GWV > 2.5 tons), М2, М3, N2, N3 for transportation of passengers and dangerous goods

from 01.01.2015 – new vehicle types of categories M and N

from 01.01.2016 – all vehicles of categories M1, N1 (GWV > 2.5 tons), М2, М3, N2, N3 for transportation of passengers and dangerous goods, released for circulation

from 01.01.2017 – all vehicles released for circulation

ERA-GLONASS Implementation Schedule

5

Vehicles of categories M1, N1 (GWV < 2.5 tons)

In response to activation of airbag(s), other sensor(s) of vehicle restraint system(s) or other system(s) detecting vehicle deceleration

Performance is checked in the conditions of the UN Regulations Nos. 94 (or 12) & 95 tests (for vehicles falling in the scope of those Regulations)

After those tests the system shall remain efficient and a voice communication with emergency service shall be provided

The test procedures of the UN Regulations Nos. 94 (or 12) & 95 are involved

6

Automatic Generation of an Emergency Call

7

How to Check a System PerformanceIn a crash – automatic generation of an emergency call

After a crash – a system remains efficient and provides for a bilateral voice communication with emergency service

That can be verified by the technical specialists of the test laboratory when a vehicle is tested pursuant to the UN Regulations Nos. 94 (or 12) & 95

But the provisions of the UN Regulations Nos. 94 & 95 do not stipulate such kind of checks of an in-vehicle system of emergency calls

Harmonization of requirements for ERA-GLONASS and eCall systems as much as possible

Involvement of two existing and available Global Navigation Systems (GPS, GLONASS)

Why two systems?

Noise stability, reliability of navigation maintenance

Higher accuracy of vehicle positioning

Receivers on the market are suitable for two systems

It is more favorable to use GLONASS in Russia

8

Objectives for Regulatory Development

Action Item 1. To develop a new UN Regulation:

Containing provisions for in-vehicle systems of emergency calls

Containing vehicle installation requirements

Stipulating system performance assessment in crush conditions of UN Regulations 94 (or 12) & 95

Other crash conditions like rolling-over or submersion in water could be added, if considered appropriate

9

Proposal for a Regulatory Development:

For WP.29 Consideration

Action Item 2. To include into UN Regulations 94 (or 12) & 95 the provisions for emergency call system performance assessment

Optional for vehicles having the said systems on board

The Russian Federation will come up with a proposal for a new draft UN Regulation by the 160th WP.29 session in June 2013

10

Proposal for a Regulatory Development:

For WP.29 Consideration

Road accident reconstructionVehicle path and deceleration information recording before, during and after an accident

Road accident preventionIntegration into ITS infrastructure, providing for information to

vehicles and drivers, transport monitoring service, police, etc. Active accident prevention using V2V and V2I

communication technologiesGLONASS integration into transportation management systems

Fleet managementRoad tollingDigital tachographsPassenger ticketingOther possible applications
